My name is Giselle Vasquez, I am a 5th semester tourism student. I chose tourism because I like it too much. In fact, I wanted to study culinary arts, but I did not perform very well, so I decided to choose hotel and tourism.
I love English, I can read and understand it, but when it comes to speaking it is very difficult for me; I am working on this a lot because in tourism industry it is very necessary, it is our second important language.
My dream is to travel to Canada to improve my English and put into practice everything learned in my career. When I was 8 I had the opportunity to travel to Cúcuta, it was my first national trip, I went with my parents and my brother, and it was a very nice cultural experience.
When I was 9 years old I had my first international trip to Venezuela,. It was a birthday gift that my dad gave me. I traveled with my whole family, I knew about Maracaibo and Caracas: the culture, the accent, etc., everything was amazing.
After that, we went to the Margaritas Islands. That was super cool because we saw spectacular beaches. This year I was in Bogota, Tolima, Villa Hermosa. Fortunalety, I have some photos of the different places I have been.
